Special Workshops

Workshops are open to teachers who are attending Core Training or to any teacher who would like to attend one or both Workshops.

An Inventor Workshop will be held Saturday, July 20, 9:00am-4:00pm, and Sunday, July 21, 12:00pm-4:00pm. This workshop will provide teachers with an introduction to Autocad Inventor software. There is a heavy focus on Inventor in Core Training and being familiar with the software ahead of time is very helpful. This is a great way to get a jump start on Core Training -- especially for those in IED or GTT. Workshop fee is $200 and includes lunch and snacks on Saturday; and snacks on Sunday.

A VEX Workshop will be held on Saturday, July 27, 8:30am-4:30pm. This workshop will provide an introduction to the VEX equipment and how it has been integrated into PLTW curriculum. This is an opportunity especially for teachers who have used Fischertechnik and are making the transition to VEX. Workshop fee is $125 and includes lunch and snacks.

All teachers attending Core Training Institutes or Workshops must bring their own laptop with software installed. Please see the guidelines established by PLTW for laptop and software requirements.
